Utilizing the 2015 Gran Fondo frame – now available at a more accessible, all-new price point – what sets the Gran Fondo Classico apart from competition carbon road bikes like the Transonic, SL, and Altamira is its taller head tube and longer wheel base. However, apart from these two exceptions, the Gran Fondo features race geometry. It was designed to cater to the rider in need of a more comfortable platform for logging serious miles but, make no mistake, it’s a very capable racing frame – agile and stiff – benefiting from the top-level technology of Fuji’s carbon race bikes yet integrated into a more stable, compliant, and comfortable machine.
